<!-- please have a look at https://fsfe.org/about/mission for existing translations --> |
|
|
|
<p>The Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to |
|
control technology.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives, and it is |
|
important that this technology empowers rather than restricts us. Free |
|
Software gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share |
|
software. These rights help support |
|
other fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech, press, and privacy.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>The FSFE helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free |
|
Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and self-determination. It |
|
enhances users' rights by abolishing barriers to Free Software adoption, |
|
encouraging people to use and develop Free Software, and providing resources to |
|
enable everyone to further promote Free Software in Europe.</p> |

Empowering people to control technology is a goal which no single organisation |

can achieve alone. With our associated organisations we exchange ideas, coordinate |
|
efforts, motivate each other, and find opportunities to work together on specific |
|
projects. |
